If you're new to Vegas, you may not know that there are a number of interesting side trips off the Strip. Many people associate Las Vegas as gambling, glitz, and glamour. But there are plenty of other things you can do and see in Sin City. Last week we discussed some of the lesser known gems located just outside of Las Vegas Strip.
Jeff German
German has expanded his podcasting career over the last few years. German wrote "Mobbed Up" a series on the fight against organized criminality, which was produced jointly by the Review-Journal (and Mob Museum). The series covered the shady characters that inhabited the Las Vegas Valley in the 1970s and 80s.
His reporting revealed political corruption as well as three decades of organized criminal activity in Las Vegas. He broke the story on the mass shooting in Las Vegas that killed more than 60 people and left hundreds more wounded in 2017. He also wrote a true-crime book about a mob connection in the area and broke the story of casino magnate Ted Binion's murder in 1998. He also worked as a CNN analyst on Binion.
Cary Darling
Celebrities and politicians love to host events in Las Vegas, Nevada. Las Vegas is known for its extravagant lifestyle and makes a perfect setting for the third presidential forum. Many of those in attendance were not impressed.
Lance Lipinsky
Lance Lipinsky is a writer and pianist who was born in Texas. He eventually moved to Las Vegas with hopes of becoming a successful musician. He started writing original material and perfected his live entertainment skills while in Vegas. At the age of 17, he was discovered by the Las Vegas Strip and started his career.
Lipinsky descends from the legends Charlie Rich and Fats Domino. He plays classic Country and 60s pop with a high-energy showmanship. He encourages audience participation.
Velveteen Rabbit
The Velveteen Rabbit was born in Philadelphia. It is a charming and colorful mix of mime music and stage magic. Nana, a 10-foot tall body puppet, acts as the nurse for the rabbit. The other adult characters are only visible in shadow. The show runs Monday through Saturday from 7 p.m. until 1 a.m.
The musical adaptation of "The Velveteen Rabbit", a 1922 children's book, is a two-act piece featuring choreography by K. T. Nelson as well as a stellar cast. The 25 year-old company's signature style combines elements of traditional European and Asian dance. If you're in the region, the production is something you must see.
Encore Boston Harbor
The Encore Boston Harbor in Everett, Massachusetts, is close to the Logan International Airport and many colleges and universities. It can be seen from all major roads as the towering structure towers over Mystic. It's a nice spot to spend a last-minute weekend in Boston.
The 600 guestrooms of Encore Boston Harbor are designed in neutral tones with airy finishes. Some rooms have views of Boston Harbor and the skyline. Depending on the type of room, guests can expect to pay between $339 and $1,099 per night.

The length of the trip will affect how much luggage that you can take. For a flight, hand baggage is not necessary, typically less than 20 kg. If you're traveling by bus or train, you'll need more space.
A form will be provided to you when you arrive at the airport with information about your flight. This form will ask for information such as your baggage weight and if you require assistance to check them in.

Hostels can be affordable and have dorm-style rooms that guests share with their bathrooms and living areas.

Hostels are very similar to guesthouses but have more rooms and less people sharing them.
Budget-conscious travelers love bed and breakfasts. Guests are able to stay in private homes, and they can enjoy a full-service breakfast.
Where should I store my luggage
There are many options. You can use lockers at airports as the most common option. These are normally located near the security area. These lockers cost $5-10 per day depending on their size.
You could also rent a storage facility. These units are often located in large shopping centers or hotels. While prices can vary, there are some places that offer discounts for multiple units being rented together.
You can also hire a porter. A porter will transport your luggage from the carousel into your room. A small fee is charged each time the porter helps you.
